Where are you going??

BACK TO THE 90's

Once upon a time, I realized I was on the Oregon Trail. My friend Will came down with Typhoid fever. No, seriously. It's really rare for travelers to get it, but he did. We should never have tried to ford the river.

ACCRA
We are finally in Accra! Getting here only took 4 hours longer than it should have. My friends and I are staying in a hostel and bumming around/avoiding doing research. There are about ten goats living outside our room which means that we own livestock/we're rich! The food here is soo much better-I actually had pancakes the other day. The people are still crazy though. The head of the hostel comes to our room at least three times a day and asks us a variety of pointless questions: where are you going today? are you here? why didn't you leave?. I am at the University of Ghana right now doing some internet research/writing my blog. This month I am researching alternative sustainable sanitation efforts. I don't know what it means either.

FANTE
In my fante lessons, I have learned that there is no word for "feel". They literally cannot express feelings. That is why people don't hug here.

I'm going to go stop for supplies.
